  2. Click Compose in the top right of the Participants view.
  3. Click Unmoderated test invite.

Once the email has been sent, the participant(s) will be added to an Invited list.

Checking In

After sending those initial communications, it is time to follow up, make adjustments (if needed), or just review settings.

Invitation follow-ups

Participants in the Invited list can be sent reminders, if it has been a while, and you want to try to reengage them.

To do so:

  1. Review your Settings > Automation settings to see if you have Send invitation reminders to candidates who do not respond after 24 hours. enabled.
    1. If so, review the participant's Invited at date, shown in the Invited at column, before manually sending a reminder. An automated one may be going out soon.
    2. If not, proceed to step 2.
  2. Review the participant's Invited at date, shown in the Invited at column, so that you know how long ago they were invited.
  3. If it has been 24+ hours (recommended):
    1. Check the checkbox next to the name of the participant(s), or click the checkbox next to Name to send to the full list.
    2. Click in the top right of the Participants view.
    3. Click Invitation reminder...

    • Completed - places the participant in the completed list and provides a prompt to send the Thank you email/incentive
    • Canceled - places the participant in the canceled list and provides a prompt to send a cancelation email
    • No-showed - places the participant in the no-showed list
    • Removed - places the participant in a removed list

How to do it?
